Re: Redundant infrastructure
On Wed, 9 Aug 2017, Derek Atkins wrote: All the solutions I know about are for multiple instances in the same data center. I have no idea how to do it in a globally distributed manner. Failover can be setup via DNS, to ping/check a host and then swap IPs if the first host doesn't respond, and theb you can decide what you want to do when the first host comes back up, probably auto-switching back is harder to setup due to changes that happen on the second server while thw first is down. dnsmadeeasy.com has the cheapest (and actually best) service for this (as well as other things - I've used them commercially for ten years or so, and had almost no issues. But, for gnucash, I'd think you don't really need a high availability solution like this. I'd expect good backups to be good enough, particularly if it is a virtual server that can be spun back up from the backup. But, even real hardware is probably good enough - there probably aren't that many urgent requests that come that can't wait a day or two. And DNS could always be manually changed in the worst case. All that said, if you want to go that route, I have experience with this and can spend time or at least recommend software options. -- Jon Daley http://jon.limedaley.com ~~ We are trying to get unemployment to go up and I think we're going to succeed. -- Ronald Reagan ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel

And I suppose I should have said - my servers are RAID5 or 6, and also backed up off-site with an incremental backup every few days, full backups every two weeks, and it saves backups for a month or two. If there was a way for me to get an ssh/rsync account to where the data is stored, then I wouldn't have to have the "extra" copy stored up on the web, but just kept on my backup system, which maybe would be nicer, but either way is okay with me. -- Jon Daley http://jon.limedaley.com ~~ It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law. -- Hofstadter's Law ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel

How much data do you have that needs to be backed up? I have space that I can offer, depending on how big it is. We could get the current backup size as a starting point and then add a blank cms install size on top of that. (content + structure) Of course, we won’t really know till at least a staging version is up and running and content has been ported over. As with any site, images take the most room. I suspect though these will be limited to screen shots so I wouldn’t anticipate the requirement being high. For a ballpark idea, I have backups for an e-commerce and blog site that has about 100 blog posts of 250+ words each and about 500 product images of fair quality (usually 800-1000px longest side and stored as 75% quality JPGs) and that db takes up 500K and the site with images takes up 2GB. Both backup files are tar.gz. I have room for that, and could give you an account to copy or rsync or whatever. ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
